Home

The red soil walkway turns and curls to disappear into the blur of moist green landscape. Glittering sunshine floods the greenery; smell of fresh air brings a sparkle in your heart. This will reveal the breadth of poetic vision of rural Bengal with amenities of contemporary living. A picture pretty cottage, perfect settings for a break from the daily grind. It has a collection of cozy rooms, hemmed by lawns and flowerbeds. But most of all enjoy the homely service, the chief ingredients for relaxation. Amidst the rustic ambience of Shantiniketan, nature unveils herself and Country Roads captures her beauty in a picturesque frame. Impeccable service by a dedicated band of staff more than complements the virgin beauty. Ideally located, the home-stay is just few yards walk from Tagore’s Visva-Bharati. 
 
 
 
  
 
Five romantic rooms in a country cottage with the luster of scented candles, and the sparkle of homeliness with the rich aroma of Bengali dishes waft up from the kitchen. Every room has been constructed to give a magnificent view of the gardens. The rooms are having the private balcony to share a cup of coffee or to indulge into a drink or just to spend the hours with a book from in-house library.  

 

The highlight of the evening is the delightful (albeit sometimes cacophonous) birdsongs. As evening turns to night, the spirit is rejuvenated by the darkness that falls. Except the stars coming up in the open sky and inside your rooms, the darkness is complete, absolute, tranquil and a little mysterious. Wake up next day by sounds of falling leaves and chirping of birds after a night of passionate dreams. 
 

Next door to home-stay is The Green Cup, part café, part showroom, part ‘order your meal in advance’ restaurant, and cyber zone; the hub of Rare enterprise, the organic interface between ideas, images and innovation.

Country Roads take me home...to the place...I belong......
